Abstract
Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) is a popular and user-friendly open-source software, licensed under General Public License (GNU) and works on cross-platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac and Android versions. It is one of the most commercial Geographic Information System (GIS) software developed for capturing, editing, displaying and analyzing spatial data. QGIS performs different types of spatial analysis such as terrain analysis, hydrological analysis, thematic mapping, land cover mapping etc. by employing vector and raster data. The current article focused on how QGIS can be used and ways to get base maps using DIVA-GIS and the Quick Map Services tool (QMS) for georeferencing the area under study.
